Robot de NinjaTrader: instalación, ajustes y soporte
Instala el robot de TradeLog en NinjaTrader 8, configúralo correctamente y entiende cada ajuste y cada mensaje que muestra.
El robot de TradeLog para NinjaTrader es un panel de trading y un guardián del riesgo, colocado sobre tu gráfico. Calcula el tamaño de posición para el riesgo que elegiste, coloca la operación con su stop y su objetivo, sigue vigilando tras la ejecución y sincroniza todo con tu diario de TradeLog.
Lo que nunca hará
Son límites que el robot se impone a sí mismo, no funciones que falten. Conviene conocerlos antes de empezar.
- Nunca mueve un stop de una operación ya abierta. La línea que sigue al precio es solo una línea de plan.
- Nunca decide cuándo comprar o vender. No hay señal ni entrada automática: tú pulsas, él dimensiona y protege.
- Nunca toca una orden mayor que la posición a la que pertenece: eso no es protección, y el robot no puede adivinar qué querías.
- No puede leer operaciones anteriores a su instalación. NinjaScript no las expone.
Lo que necesitas
- NinjaTrader 8, versión 8.1 o posterior.
- Una cuenta de NinjaTrader en la que puedas operar. Sim es el sitio adecuado para empezar.
- Un plan de TradeLog que incluya sincronización automática — Basic o Premium.
- Tu clave API de TradeLog, en Ajustes y luego Claves API.
Instalación
- 1En TradeLog ve a Ajustes, luego Claves API, y crea una clave para NinjaTrader. Se muestra una sola vez: cópiala ahora.
- 2Descarga el archivo del robot desde tu página de Conexiones. Es un único zip — no lo descomprimas.
- 3Solo si alguna vez instalaste el robot como archivo fuente — un .cs pegado en el NinjaScript Editor, como hicieron los probadores antes de septiembre de 2026: elimínalo primero, o la importación fallará con « duplicate method names ». En el NinjaScript Editor abre Indicators, haz clic derecho en TradeLogSyncV3, elige Remove y deja que NinjaTrader recompile.
- 4En NinjaTrader abre el Control Center y elige Tools, luego Import, luego NinjaScript Add-On…
- 5NinjaTrader muestra una advertencia estándar sobre los complementos de terceros. Aparece nada más elegir la opción del menú, antes de seleccionar el archivo, y con cualquier complemento que no venga de NinjaTrader — incluido el nuestro. Pulsa OK.
- 6Elige el archivo zip y confirma. NinjaTrader lo compila y te dice que ha ido bien. Si pide reiniciar, reinicia.
- 7Abre un gráfico del instrumento con el que quieras operar.
- 8Haz clic derecho en el gráfico, elige Indicators…, busca TradeLogSyncV3 en la lista de la izquierda y haz doble clic. Ese es el nombre con el que lo lista NinjaTrader; en el gráfico luego aparece TradeLog Sync con su versión.
- 9Rellena los ajustes de la derecha — la siguiente sección dice cuáles y en qué orden — y pulsa OK.
Tu primera configuración, en orden
- 1Ajuste 1.1 API Key: pega la clave copiada de TradeLog. Pégala exactamente, sin espacios antes ni después. Sin ella no funciona nada.
- 2Ajuste 2.1 Risk per trade - manual override ($): déjalo vacío, salvo que quieras operar sin que TradeLog gobierne tu riesgo. Normalmente el riesgo viene de Strict Risk Management en la aplicación y esta casilla se ignora.
- 3Ajuste 2.2 Default reward:risk: a qué distancia se dibuja por primera vez la línea de Take-Profit respecto al stop. Puedes arrastrarla en cada operación.
- 4Ajuste 3.2 Guardian: watch every symbol on the account: déjalo activado para que quede protegida toda la cuenta, no solo este gráfico.
- 5Ajuste 6.1 Write diagnostics to the Output window: déjalo desactivado. Actívalo solo si lo pide el soporte.
Cada ajuste, explicado
Esta es la lista completa de Parameters, en el orden en que la muestra NinjaTrader, generada desde el propio robot para que no pueda desviarse de lo que tienes en pantalla. Los números son los que puedes citar al soporte.
Los ajustes siguientes se muestran exactamente como aparecen en el cuadro Parameters de NinjaTrader, en inglés. NinjaTrader no los traduce, así que las palabras de aquí coinciden con las de tu pantalla.
1. TradeLog Account
- 1.1API KeyPredeterminado: (empty)
- START HERE. Your TradeLog API key, so the robot can reach your account. Where to find it: sign in at tradelog.cot-reports.com, then Settings -> API Keys. Paste it exactly as shown. Without a key the robot cannot size a trade or send anything to your journal.
2. Risk
- 2.1Risk per trade - manual override ($)Predeterminado: 0
- OPTIONAL. Normally your Risk comes from TradeLog: whatever you set under Strict Risk Management in the app is what the robot uses, and this box is ignored. Fill it in only to run WITHOUT that - then also switch on 'Use the manual Risk above' below. Example: 500 means a stop-out costs about 500. 0 = nothing is trimmed (fail-safe).
- Rango admitido: 0 or more
- 2.2Default reward:riskPredeterminado: 2
- How far the Take-Profit line is first drawn compared with the Stop-Loss distance. 2 means the target sits twice as far from entry as the stop. You can always drag the line afterwards.
- Rango admitido: 0.1 to 100.0
- 2.3Maximum contracts per orderPredeterminado: 100
- A fat-finger ceiling: the panel never sends more than this many contracts in one order, whatever the Risk works out to. 0 = no ceiling.
- Rango admitido: 0 or more
- 2.4Size up to the full RiskPredeterminado: OFF
- OFF by default. ON = when a plan would risk LESS than your Risk, the robot adds contracts until it reaches it, and your Stop-Loss stays exactly where you put it. Only if the contract count hits your 'Maximum contracts per order' cap first does the Stop-Loss move AWAY from entry instead - and the panel says so when it happens. Example: Risk 150, one contract risks 1.50 - it takes 100 contracts, so with a 100 cap nothing moves; with a 20 cap the stop moves out until 20 contracts risk the full 150. One of the two settings that can INCREASE position size, which is why it is off unless you turn it on.
- 2.5Allow 1 contract even if it exceeds the RiskPredeterminado: OFF
- OFF by default. When your Stop-Loss is so far from Entry that even ONE contract would risk more than your Risk, the panel refuses and shows Contracts: 0. ON = it places that one contract anyway and says in red, on the panel, that you are over your Risk. It NEVER places more than one, so the overshoot is only ever what a single contract costs at the stop you drew. Example: Risk 500 on ES with a 55-tick stop - one contract risks 687.50. The second of the two settings that can INCREASE what you lose, which is why it is off unless you turn it on.
3. Protection
- 3.1Use the manual Risk above instead of TradeLogPredeterminado: OFF
- OFF (default, recommended) = your Risk comes from TradeLog and the box above is ignored. ON = run without TradeLog driving the Risk: the Guardian trims to the manual amount above instead. Switch this on only if you want the robot to ignore the app.
- 3.2Guardian: watch every symbol on the accountPredeterminado: ON
- ON (default) = the whole account is protected, not only the instrument on this chart - including trades you opened outside the TradeLog panel. OFF = only this chart's instrument is protected and every other instrument is left alone. This is SCOPE only - it never switches trimming on by itself. With the robot on several charts of one account, only ONE of them trims; the others say so on their panel.
4. Sync
- 4.1Sync interval (seconds)Predeterminado: 30
- How often open positions are sent to your TradeLog journal. Lower = fresher, and more requests. 30 suits almost everyone.
- Rango admitido: 10 to 300
5. Display
- 5.1Show the trading panelPredeterminado: ON
- ON (default) = the Buy/Sell panel is drawn on the chart. OFF = no panel; the robot still watches and protects, it just gives you nothing to click.
- 5.2Panel coloursPredeterminado: Dark
- Auto = follow the chart background. Or force Light / Dark.
- AutoLightDark
- 5.3Panel positionPredeterminado: TopLeft
- Which corner of the chart the panel starts in. You can also drag it by its header.
- TopLeftTopRightBottomLeftBottomRight
- 5.4Messages on the chartPredeterminado: Expanded
- Where the message card starts: Expanded (default) or Collapsed (only its header chip, for a clean chart). The arrow opens and closes it either way, and an ALARM is never missed - while one is standing the folded chip turns red and carries the warning mark.
- ExpandedCollapsed
- 5.5Show shortcut keys on the buttonsPredeterminado: ON
- ON (default) = each button shows the key that triggers it - BUY (B), SELL (S), LONG (L), SHORT (K), MARKET/PENDING (O), REFRESH (R). The keys keep working either way; this changes the LABEL only.
- 5.6Show tooltips on active buttonsPredeterminado: OFF
- OFF (default) = hovering a button that is READY to be pressed shows nothing, so the panel never covers the chart while you wait for your moment. ON = every button explains what the press will do. A button that is GREYED OUT always explains why it cannot be pressed, whatever this is set to - that reason exists nowhere else. The 'i' in the panel header is exempt for the same reason.
- 5.7Labels on the plan linesPredeterminado: ON
- ON (default) = each Entry / Stop-Loss / Take-Profit line carries a small label with its price.
- 5.8Label text colourPredeterminado: White
- The colour of the words inside the Entry / Stop-Loss / Take-Profit label. The label itself is a filled marker in the LINE'S own colour (blue / red / green), the way NinjaTrader draws its own order labels, so White (default) reads on all three. Choose Black if you prefer dark text on the coloured marker.
- BlackWhite
- 5.9Label positionPredeterminado: Left
- Where each label sits on its line. Left (default) = in a box at the left end of the line, set back from the right-hand price scale, the way NinjaTrader keeps its own order labels clear. Center = over the middle of the line.
- CenterLeft
- 5.10How long the plan lines arePredeterminado: To last candle
- To last candle (default) = the lines stop at the newest candle, like a NinjaTrader order line. To right edge = they carry on past it, so you can read the level against price. Full width = right across the visible chart.
- To last candleTo right edgeFull width
- 5.11Prices on the price scalePredeterminado: ON
- ON (default) = the Entry / Stop-Loss / Take-Profit prices also appear on the price scale at the right. OFF = the lines and their labels stay exactly as they are, with no price on the scale.
- 5.12Stop-Loss line follows pricePredeterminado: ON
- ON (default) = while you are setting a trade up, the Stop-Loss line is pushed along so it stays on the correct side of Entry - never back towards Entry. PLANNING LINES ONLY: it can never move a stop on a trade you have already opened.
- 5.13Take-Profit line follows pricePredeterminado: ON
- ON (default) = the same for the Take-Profit line, so the market cannot end up past your target before you have even entered. PLANNING LINES ONLY: it can never move a target on a trade you have already opened.
- 5.14First Stop-Loss distance (ticks)Predeterminado: 0
- How far from Entry the Stop-Loss line is drawn the FIRST time, in ticks. 0 = automatic, from recent volatility. Set a value if the lines seed too close together to grab with the mouse. DISPLAY ONLY - you still drag the lines to your real levels, and position size is always calculated from where you drag them.
- Rango admitido: 0 to 1000000
- 5.15First Take-Profit distance (ticks)Predeterminado: 0
- How far from Entry the Take-Profit line is drawn the FIRST time, in ticks. 0 = automatic, from the reward:risk above. DISPLAY ONLY - you still drag the lines to your real levels.
- Rango admitido: 0 to 1000000
6. Advanced
- 6.1Write diagnostics to the Output windowPredeterminado: OFF
- OFF (default). ON = the robot prints what it is doing, for support. It does not change how it trades.
El panel y lo que te dice
El panel dice con palabras lo que está haciendo, en vez de dejarte adivinar. Un botón gris siempre explica por qué no se puede pulsar, y la tarjeta de mensajes bajo el panel lleva todo lo que requiere tu atención. Los principales están aquí.
Cómo leer los números R
Dos cifras del panel llevan una letra, y la letra indica a qué pregunta se respondió. F es la R Financiera y trata del dinero: el importe dividido entre el Riesgo que fijaste para una operación, así que «-0.92R F» significa que pierdes el 92 % del riesgo de una operación. Divide entre el riesgo que planificaste, no entre el que asume realmente el número redondeado de contratos — por eso un mismo plan puede mostrar 1.67R F en la línea de recompensa mientras la relación de arriba indica 1 : 2.0. NinjaTrader no tiene un ajuste de comisión que el robot pueda leer, así que F es el dinero bruto del precio, antes de lo que cobra tu bróker. T es la R Técnica y trata de la distancia: «Risk to Reward (T) 1 : 2.0» significa que el objetivo está el doble de lejos de la entrada que el stop. T es una relación, nunca un múltiplo — por eso se escribe 1 : 2.0 y no 2.00R.
Los mensajes aparecen con las palabras del robot, en inglés, para que puedas compararlos letra por letra con lo que ves en tu gráfico. La explicación de debajo está traducida.
Chart — the message card under the panel
A tail added to the STOP/TARGET over-protection alarm when a second instrument is also over-protected. It never appears on its own.
Qué hacer. Check that instrument as well.
Chart — the message card under the panel
A tail added to an orphan- or resting-order alarm when a SECOND instrument has the same problem. It never appears on its own — look for it at the end of one of those lines.
Qué hacer. Check your other instruments too — the message names only the first.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The same tail when several more instruments are over-protected. It never appears on its own.
Qué hacer. Check every open instrument as well.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The same tail when several more instruments are affected. It never appears on its own — look for it at the end of an orphan- or resting-order alarm.
Qué hacer. Check every open instrument — the message names only the first.
Chart — the message card under the panel
An ATM strategy owns the protection on that instrument. NinjaTrader forbids anything outside the ATM from resizing it, so the robot has stopped trimming that instrument.
Qué hacer. Reduce the position from the ATM itself, or close it.
Chart — the message card under the panel
An older version of this robot is still installed on this machine. If both are on charts, two copies are watching the same account and both may act.
Qué hacer. Remove the old one from every chart, delete its file from Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom, and press F5 in the NinjaScript Editor. Keep only the current one.
Panel — the licence row, and the sentence on the chart
The Risk value should come from TradeLog, but the connection is not confirmed.
Qué hacer. Check the API key first — that is the usual cause. If the key is right and your own connection is fine, ours is down; the robot keeps retrying and your broker link is unaffected.
Panel — the licence row, and the sentence on the chart
A refresh of the Risk value from TradeLog is in flight.
Qué hacer. Wait a moment.
Panel — the licence row, and the sentence on the chart
The Risk value is being read from your TradeLog account right now.
Qué hacer. Wait a moment. Sizing arms as soon as it arrives.
Chart — the message card under the panel
NinjaTrader raised an error when the robot asked which account is selected.
Qué hacer. Re-pick the account in Chart Trader. If it keeps happening, send us the Output window.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The robot reads which account to protect from Chart Trader, and Chart Trader is not open.
Qué hacer. Open Chart Trader on this chart and select your account.
Panel — the red alarm banner
The same state, when the close was cancelled or rejected rather than failing outright.
Qué hacer. Close it in NinjaTrader, or place a stop by hand, right now.
Panel — the red alarm banner
The robot cancelled your stop and target in order to close, and then the close itself failed. You are holding a position with nothing behind it.
Qué hacer. Close it in NinjaTrader, or place a stop by hand, right now. Then send us the Output window.
Chart — the message card under the panel
A stop or target order is still working on an instrument where you have no position. If it fills, it opens a new trade.
Qué hacer. Cancel it — CANCEL PENDING on the panel, or in NinjaTrader.
Panel — the red alarm banner
The banner form of the orphan-exit-order alarm.
Qué hacer. Cancel that order — CANCEL PENDING, or in NinjaTrader.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The robot has no account to protect, so it is not trimming anything. The rest of the sentence says exactly why.
Qué hacer. Follow the reason given. In almost every case it is Chart Trader: open it and pick your account.
Chart — the message card under the panel
Chart Trader is open but no account is chosen, so there is nothing to protect.
Qué hacer. Pick your account in the Chart Trader account dropdown.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The reason the robot could not bind to an account, in plain words.
Qué hacer. Open Chart Trader on this chart and select your account. If the chart is still loading, wait a few seconds.
Panel — the red alarm banner
A protection alarm is standing but the specific wording could not be resolved. The message card under the panel carries the detail.
Qué hacer. Read the message card. If it is empty too, send us a screenshot and the Output window.
Panel — the red alarm banner
Your resting stop covers fewer contracts than you hold — the numbers in brackets are stop size against position size. The uncovered part has no floor under its loss.
Qué hacer. Increase the stop order to cover the whole position, or reduce the position to match the stop.
Panel — the red alarm banner
The worst outcome the panel can report. A close over-filled and you are now in a position the OTHER WAY round, with nothing protecting it.
Qué hacer. Flatten it by hand in NinjaTrader, immediately. Do not wait for the robot to fix it — it will not.
Panel — the red alarm banner
The full sentence for the line above: the close reversed you and the new position is naked.
Qué hacer. Flatten manually in NinjaTrader now.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The robot has not finished binding to an account yet.
Qué hacer. Wait a few seconds.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The protective orders cover MORE contracts than you actually hold. If they trigger, they will close your position and open the opposite one.
Qué hacer. Resize or cancel the excess order by hand. This is the one case the robot will not fix for you.
Panel — the red alarm banner
The banner form of the over-protection alarm.
Qué hacer. See that message: resize or cancel the excess order by hand.
Chart — the message card under the panel
An order this robot created never reached the broker. A cancel on it is accepted but never completes, and a CLOSE will wait on it and time out.
Qué hacer. Press Close again — that has cleared it before. If it does not, restart NinjaTrader and send us the Output window.
Panel — the red alarm banner
The banner form of the stuck-order alarm.
Qué hacer. Press Close again; if it does not clear, restart NinjaTrader and send us the Output window.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The same as the line above, with more than one stuck order.
Qué hacer. Press Close again; if that does not clear it, restart NinjaTrader and send us the Output window.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The account that was selected has gone — usually a disconnected connection.
Qué hacer. Reconnect in NinjaTrader, then re-pick the account in Chart Trader.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The chart is not finished opening yet.
Qué hacer. Wait a few seconds.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The robot was added somewhere that is not a chart — a Market Analyzer column or a SuperDOM. There is no Chart Trader there, so it has no account and stays inert.
Qué hacer. Remove it from there and add it to a CHART instead.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The robot tried to trim that instrument and could not, so it has stood down until you are flat again. The end of the sentence names the exact cause.
Qué hacer. Act on the named cause — usually resizing or cancelling an order by hand. Trimming resumes on the next position.
Chart — the message card under the panel
Your TradeLog account has hit a limit you set, and trading is blocked until it resets.
Qué hacer. Open your TradeLog journal to see which limit and when it resets.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The same block, when the server did not say which limit was hit.
Qué hacer. Open your TradeLog journal to see which limit and when it resets.
Chart — the message card under the panel
TradeLog could not be reached to check your limits, so trading is paused rather than allowed past a limit that might already be hit.
Qué hacer. Nothing — it resumes on its own once the check succeeds, and your broker connection is not involved. If it lasts and your own connection is fine, the problem is ours.
Chart — the message card under the panel
An account is selected, but the robot cannot work out which one it is, so it refuses to trim rather than trim the wrong account.
Qué hacer. Re-pick the account in Chart Trader on this chart. If it persists, send us the Output window.
Chart — the message card under the panel
Not a problem. You have the robot on more than one chart of this account, and another chart is the one doing the trimming. Only ever one does, on purpose.
Qué hacer. Nothing. The named chart is protecting the account. Everything else on this chart works normally.
Chart — the message card under the panel
You have an open position with no stop-loss order behind it. The robot cannot measure a risk that does not exist, so it cannot protect you on this one.
Qué hacer. Place a Stop Market order for that position now, or close it.
Chart — the message card under the panel
A working order is sitting on an instrument you are flat on. It can fill at any time.
Qué hacer. Leave it if you meant it. Cancel it if you did not.
Chart — the message card under the panel
Not a warning — this is the panel repeating its Risk Source line on the chart because the row was too narrow to show it whole.
Qué hacer. Nothing. Widen the panel if you would rather read it there.
Chart — the message card under the panel
While sizing up to your full Risk, the contract cap was reached first, so the Stop-Loss was moved further out instead. Your risk in money is unchanged; the stop is not where you drew it.
Qué hacer. Nothing, if that is what you wanted. Raise 2.3 Maximum contracts per order, or turn off 2.4 Size up to the full Risk, to keep the stop exactly where you put it.
Chart — the message card under the panel
There is a stop order on the same side as your position. If it triggers it will ADD to the position instead of closing it.
Qué hacer. Cancel that order. CLOSE POSITION cancels it along with the position; CANCEL PENDING removes it once you are flat.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The only protection on that position is a stop-LIMIT. A stop-limit can trigger and never fill, so it does not put a floor under the loss.
Qué hacer. Replace it with a Stop Market order.
Chart — the message card under the panel
The stop and the target are not tied together, so filling one will not cancel the other. You could be left with a live order after the trade is over.
Qué hacer. When one of them fills, cancel the other by hand.
Panel — the status row
Appended to a cancel: some orders belong to a strategy or ATM, so the robot did not touch them.
Qué hacer. Cancel those where they were placed.
Panel — the status row
Even one contract would risk more than your limit at this stop distance, so the panel refuses to place it.
Qué hacer. Move the Stop-Loss closer to the entry, raise 2.1 Risk per trade, or switch on 2.5 to allow the single contract deliberately.
Panel — the status row
The full sentence behind the line above.
Qué hacer. Tighten the stop or raise the Risk.
Panel — the status row
The full sentence behind "Close in progress".
Qué hacer. Wait a second.
Panel — the status row
The full sentence behind "Risk trim settling".
Qué hacer. Wait a second.
Inside another message, where it names the reason
Why the Guardian stood down: it may shrink a hand-placed order but never cancel it, so it cannot go below one contract.
Qué hacer. Cancel that order by hand if you want the position trimmed further.
Panel — the status row
The full sentence behind "Resting order — no SL/TP will attach". If it fills it will be naked.
Qué hacer. Cancel it in NinjaTrader, or be ready to set its protection by hand.
Inside another message, where it names the reason
Why the Guardian stood down: an order larger than the position is not protection, so it will not act on it.
Qué hacer. Resize or cancel that order by hand.
Panel — the status row
The full sentence behind "Resting order — owned by a strategy".
Qué hacer. Cancel it where you placed it, not from this panel.
Inside another message, where it names the reason
Your TradeLog plan does not currently allow the robot.
Qué hacer. Renew your plan, then press REFRESH.
Panel — the status row
This NinjaTrader account has not been linked to TradeLog, so no Risk can be read for it.
Qué hacer. Link the account in TradeLog, then press REFRESH.
Panel — the status row
The folded message card, red, because at least one of the lines behind it is an ALARM.
Qué hacer. Click it — an alarm is never hidden without saying so.
Panel — the status row
HALF and QUARTER cannot act on a position an ATM owns.
Qué hacer. Use CLOSE POSITION, or scale out from the ATM itself.
Inside another message, where it names the reason
Why the Guardian stood down: an ATM strategy owns the protection and NinjaTrader forbids resizing it from outside.
Qué hacer. Reduce the position from the ATM, or close it.
Panel — the status row
The full sentence behind "Order in progress".
Qué hacer. Wait a second.
Inside another message, where it names the reason

No TradeLog API key has been entered at all.
Qué hacer. Paste your key into the robot inputs. It is on your TradeLog account page.
Panel — the status row
The Stop-Loss and Take-Profit could not be attached to a fill. The position is open and UNPROTECTED.
Qué hacer. Set a stop by hand right now, or close the position. Then send us the Output window.
Panel — the status row
The cancel was sent for several resting orders.
Qué hacer. Nothing — confirm they disappear from your Orders tab.
Panel — the status row
The cancel was sent for one resting order.
Qué hacer. Nothing — confirm it disappears from your Orders tab.
Inside another message, where it names the reason
The connection to TradeLog was confirmed once and has since aged out — we cannot reach our own server. Nothing is wrong with your subscription or your key, and your BROKER connection is untouched: charts, orders and open positions carry on normally.
Qué hacer. Check your own connection, then press REFRESH. If yours is fine, the problem is ours and the robot keeps retrying. You can still CLOSE an open position from the panel meanwhile.
Inside another message, where it names the reason
The Guardian stood down and the reason was not recorded — this one should not happen.
Qué hacer. Send us the Output window; we want to see this.

The full sentence behind "Connecting to TradeLog".
Qué hacer. Wait. If it stays here, check the API key.
Panel — the status row
The instrument is not priced in your account currency. The robot will not guess an exchange rate, so it refuses to size rather than give you a wrong number.
Qué hacer. Trade this instrument from an account in its own currency.
Panel — the status row
The panel is showing a newer version, and this is where the file is. It appears on the badge hover when the server did not send a direct link, and in the Output window once per session.
Qué hacer. Open tradelog.cot-reports.com, go to Connections, and download the NinjaTrader robot. Then in NinjaTrader: Tools then Remove NinjaScript Assembly, remove the TradeLog entry, and import the new zip from Tools then Import.
Panel — the status row
The flatten was accepted but the position is still not flat.
Qué hacer. Use NinjaTrader's own Close button.
Panel — the status row
NinjaTrader refused the flatten.
Qué hacer. Use NinjaTrader's own Close button. Then send us the Output window.
Panel — the status row
The position is ATM-owned, so the robot is using NinjaTrader’s own flatten — which also cancels working orders on this instrument, entries included.

Qué hacer. Nothing. This is good news.

Qué hacer. Nothing; the broker still checks at submission.
Panel — the status row
The folded message card. The number beside it is how many lines are behind it.

The link word: the robot cannot reach the TradeLog licence server right now. It keeps retrying, and your broker connection is not affected — orders and open positions are untouched.
Qué hacer. Nothing while your licence still has time on it. If it stays amber for days and your own connection is fine, the problem is ours — tell us.
Panel — the status row
You do not hold enough contracts to take a half or a quarter.
Qué hacer. Use CLOSE POSITION.
Panel — the status row
An order is still being placed. The panel arms again when it completes.
Qué hacer. Wait a second.
Panel — the status row
Your pending entry is waiting at the broker. Its stop and target are NOT there yet — the robot attaches them the moment it fills.
Qué hacer. Leave the chart open until it fills.
Panel — the status row
You typed an Override larger than the Risk the Guardian trims to, so it was capped down. A bigger size would have been trimmed the moment it filled.
Qué hacer. Nothing — this is the panel keeping the two consistent. Raise 2.1 if you want a bigger size.
Panel — the status row
The Risk in use is the amount you typed into the Override box on the panel, not your usual per-trade Risk. It applies until you clear the box.
Qué hacer. Nothing, if that is what you wanted. Clear the Override box to go back to your usual Risk.
Panel — the status row
A label on the position row: you have resting orders but no open position.
Qué hacer. Nothing.
Panel — the status row
A label on the exit button — CLOSE POSITION closes the whole position.
Qué hacer. Nothing.
Panel — the status row
Your open position already uses the whole Risk, so adding to it would go over.
Qué hacer. Close part of the position to make room, or leave it as it is.
Panel — the status row
NinjaTrader did not return the position this time.
Qué hacer. Wait for the next update. If it persists, check the connection.
Panel — the status row
The worst state the panel can show: the protective orders were cancelled and the close did not go through, so you hold a position with nothing behind it.
Qué hacer. Act immediately — close it in NinjaTrader, or place a stop by hand.
Panel — the status row
The resting stop covers fewer contracts than you hold. Part of the position is unprotected.
Qué hacer. Increase the stop order to cover the whole position, or reduce the position.
Panel — the status row
The two kinds of R this robot prints. F (Financial) is a multiple of the Risk you set for one trade, so it answers "how much of one trade of risk is this?". T (Technical) is the shape of the plan on the chart, so "1 : 2.0" means the target is twice as far from entry as the stop. The same two letters the TradeLog journal uses, so the robot and the journal read alike.
Qué hacer. Nothing — it is a legend. Hover the "Risk to Reward (T)" caption on the panel to see it again.
Panel — the status row
A Risk refresh from TradeLog is in flight.
Qué hacer. Wait a moment.
Panel — the status row
A pending entry from this panel is still live at the broker, but the robot has stopped tracking it. If it fills it will have no stop and no target.
Qué hacer. Cancel it in NinjaTrader, or be ready to set its protection by hand.
Panel — the status row
There is a working order on this instrument that this robot did not place. It is real exposure, and the robot will not attach protection to it.
Qué hacer. Manage it where it was placed, or cancel it.
Panel — the status row
A strategy or ATM owns the resting order, so the robot will not touch it — cancelling one leg of a bracket can leave a position unprotected.
Qué hacer. Cancel it where you placed it.

Panel — the status row
On the Open Risk row: your stops sit exactly at breakeven, so the trade can no longer lose.
Qué hacer. Nothing.
Panel — the status row
The Risk in use was reduced to the room left on an open position, so a new entry cannot push you over your limit.
Qué hacer. Nothing. Close part of the position if you want more room.

Qué hacer. Use CLOSE POSITION, or resize the stop by hand first.
Panel — the status row

Qué hacer. Drag the Stop-Loss line to where you want it, then press again.

Qué hacer. Nothing. Raise 2.1 Risk per trade if you want a bigger size.

TradeLog answered and said this account does not have an active subscription that covers the robot. This one IS about the subscription — the other three below are not.
Qué hacer. Renew or upgrade at tradelog.cot-reports.com. The panel arms itself once that is done.

The Risk for this account is still being read from TradeLog.
Qué hacer. Wait. Sizing arms as soon as it arrives.

Why the Guardian stood down: it could not read the orders, and it will not reduce a position behind protection it never measured.
Qué hacer. Check that NinjaTrader is connected, then press REFRESH.
Panel — the status row
The account’s orders could not be read, so the robot cancelled nothing rather than guess.
Qué hacer. Check the connection and press again.

TradeLog could not be reached. The robot keeps retrying on its own, and your broker connection is not affected.
Qué hacer. Check your own connection. If it is fine, the problem is on our side.
Inside another message, where it names the reason
The robot cannot reach TradeLog. Nothing is wrong with your subscription or your key, and your BROKER connection is untouched: charts, orders and open positions carry on normally. Sizing is off because the risk figure comes from TradeLog and we will not guess one.
Qué hacer. Nothing. It keeps retrying. You can still CLOSE an open position from the panel while this is showing — closing is never blocked.
Panel — the status row
On the Open Risk row: some of your contracts have no stop behind them, so the loss on this position has no ceiling.
Qué hacer. Place a stop covering the whole position.
Panel — the status row
The plan sizes to zero contracts — usually a stop so far away that nothing fits inside your Risk.
Qué hacer. Move the Stop-Loss closer to the entry, or raise 2.1 Risk per trade.
Panel — the status row
The full sentence behind "Stop-Loss required".
Qué hacer. Drag the Stop-Loss line into place, then press again.
El Guardian
El Guardian es la parte que actúa sin que pulses nada, así que conviene saber exactamente qué hace. Compara lo que perdería una posición abierta si se tocara su stop con tu riesgo por operación. Si la pérdida fuera mayor, reduce la posición hasta que deje de serlo. Cierra una parte de la operación; nunca mueve tu stop. Con el ajuste 3.2 activado vigila todos los instrumentos de la cuenta, incluidas las operaciones abiertas fuera del panel.
Actualizar el robot
El panel te avisa cuando existe una versión más reciente: en la cabecera aparece « Update available » con el número. Actualizar es eliminar y volver a importar, no sobrescribir — si el assembly antiguo sigue instalado, NinjaTrader rechaza la importación con « duplicate method names ».
- 1Descarga el nuevo zip desde tu página Connections en TradeLog. Su nombre lleva la versión, así lo distingues del que ya tienes.
- 2En NinjaTrader, cierra todos los gráficos en los que esté el robot.
- 3Control Center → Tools → Remove NinjaScript Assembly… → selecciona la entrada TradeLog (su nombre lleva la versión) → Remove. NinjaTrader recompila.
- 4Control Center → Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On… → elige el nuevo zip. La advertencia sobre complementos de terceros aparece de nuevo — pulsa OK.
- 5Cierra NinjaTrader por completo y vuelve a abrirlo. No es opcional: .NET no descarga un assembly de la memoria, así que hasta que reinicies sigue ejecutándose el robot antiguo — el panel sigue mostrando la versión antigua y la insignia de actualización, aunque el archivo nuevo ya esté en el disco.
- 6Vuelve a abrir tu gráfico y añade el robot. Comprueba que la versión de la cabecera del panel es la que acabas de instalar.
NinjaTrader no puede apagar este robot
NinjaTrader desactiva por su cuenta una estrategia en ejecución al hacer Close o Flatten. El robot de TradeLog no es una de ellas, así que sobrevive a esas acciones y sigue protegiendo la cuenta.
Preguntas frecuentes
- No pasó nada después de importarlo. La importación mete el robot en NinjaTrader; no lo pone en un gráfico. Clic derecho en el gráfico, Indicators…, busca TradeLogSyncV3 y haz doble clic.
- Hago clic en una casilla de ajustes y lo que escribo no entra. Esa es la rejilla Parameters de NinjaTrader, no el robot: un clic selecciona la celda y otro la abre para editar.
- Mis operaciones antiguas no aparecieron. NinjaScript no puede leer ejecuciones anteriores al arranque del robot. Expórtalas desde Control Center, Trade Performance, Executions, y sube el CSV en TradeLog — se fusiona sobre las mismas operaciones.
- ¿Puedo usarlo en dos cuentas? Sí, en tantos gráficos y cuentas como quieras. Mantén el ajuste 3.2 activado y solo un gráfico por cuenta hará el recorte.
- El panel dice que hay una actualización. Es un aviso, no un bloqueo. Descarga el nuevo archivo en Conexiones e impórtalo igual.
- Después de actualizar, el panel sigue mostrando la versión antigua y « Update available ». Todavía no has reiniciado NinjaTrader. Eliminar e importar cambia el archivo del disco; la copia ya cargada en memoria sigue funcionando hasta que NinjaTrader se cierra y se vuelve a abrir.
Si algo va mal
Un solo mensaje con todo dentro consigue una respuesta útil a la primera. Esto es lo que hay que enviar.
- 1El número de versión, en la cabecera del panel.

- 3Una captura del gráfico entero con el panel visible.
- 4Qué hiciste, qué esperabas y qué ocurrió en su lugar.
Historial de versiones
Los números de versión son los que muestra el panel en su cabecera. Si el tuyo es más antiguo, vuelve a descargar el robot desde tu página de Conexiones.
